Project description:We conducted a comprehensive proteogenomic analysis comprising proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling on 98 pre-invasive and 99 invasive lung adenocarcinomas.
Project description:Adenocarcinoma in situ and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma are the pre-invasive forms of lung adenocarcinoma. The genomic and immune profiles of these lesions are poorly understood. Here we report exome and transcriptome sequencing of 98 lung adenocarcinoma precursor lesions and 99 invasive adenocarcinomas. We have identified EGFR, RBM10, BRAF, ERBB2, TP53, KRAS, MAP2K1 and MET as significantly mutated genes in the pre/minimally invasive group. Classes of genome alterations that increase in frequency during the progression to malignancy are revealed. These include mutations in TP53, arm-level copy number alterations, and HLA loss of heterozygosity. Immune infiltration is correlated with copy number alterations of chromosome arm 6p, suggesting a link between arm-level events and the tumor immune environment.
Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate gene expression tumour progression of KRas*/MYC driven lung tumours from adenocarcinoma in situ to invasive disease.
Project description:Global evolution of the tumor microenvironment associated with progression from preinvasive/minimally invasive to invasive human lung adenocarcinoma
Project description:To investigate changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) during lung cancer progression, we interrogate tumors from two computer tomography (CT) defined groups. Pure non-solid (pNS) CT density nodules contain preinvasive/minimally invasive cancers and solid density nodules invasive cancers. Profiling data reveal a dynamic interaction between the tumor and its TME throughout progression. Alterations in genes regulating the extracellular matrix and genes regulating fibroblasts are central at the preinvasive state. T cell-mediated immune suppression is initiated in preinvasive nodules and sustained with rising intensity through progression to invasive tumors. Reduced T cell infiltration of the cancer cell nests is more frequently associated with preinvasive cancers, possibly until tumor evolution leads to a durable, viable invasive phenotype accompanied by more varied and robust immune suppression. Upregulation of immune checkpoints occurs only in the invasive nodules. Throughout progression an effector immune response is present but is effectively thwarted by the immune-suppressive elements.
Project description:Clinical FFPE tissue proteomic analyses were performed for early lung adenocarcinomas including adenocarcinoma in-situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and lepidic predominant invasive adenocarcinoma (LPA).
Project description:Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the lung has an extremely favorable prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of 100%. However, early invasive adenocarcinoma (EIA) often has a fatal outcome. In this study, we compared the expression profiles of AIS with those of EIA showing a fatal outcome, and screened the differentially expressed genes by cDNA microarray.
Project description:Rationale: Lung carcinoma-in-situ (CIS) lesions are the pre-malignant precursor to lung squamous cell carcinoma. However, only half progress to invasive cancer in three years, while a third spontaneously regress. Whether modern molecular profiling techniques can identify those preinvasive lesions that will subsequently progress and distinguish them from those that will regress is unknown. We performed gene expression microarrays on CIS lesions, with a view to deriving a molecular signature predictive of future progression to invasive cancer.
